What to know first

Addition means putting two groups together and counting how many there are altogether. The quickest way at this stage is to start from the bigger number and count on: for 3 + 5, start at 5 and count 6, 7, 8. The answer is the same whichever number you start from.

Answers and explanations

Show the answer key
  1. 7Start at 4 and count on three: 5, 6, 7. So 4 + 3 = 7.
  2. 8Start at 6 and count on two: 7, 8. So 6 + 2 = 8.
  3. 4 and 64 + 6 = 10. Number pairs that make 10 are worth learning by heart.
  4. 95 marbles plus 4 more makes 9 altogether.
  5. 7Adding zero changes nothing, so 7 + 0 is still 7.
  6. 14Make 10 first: 9 + 1 = 10, and 4 is left over, so 10 + 4 = 14.
